This is my Jarad reanimator combo EDH deck.The primary aim is to get one of the many large creatures such as Lord of Extinction onto the battlefield and sacrifice it to Jarad to kill all opponents at once.

The deck runs a lot of reanimation both targeted and on mass and it is very possible to drop large creatures turn 2 via Animate Dead or Exhume(A turn two Void Winnower causes most people to scoop!).

The creatures in this deck serve one of four purposes:

-ETB effects that can be abused via Living Death or Twilight's Call

-Utility(ramp,card draw etc)

-Win-cons;these are the creatures we want to sacrifice to Jarad

-Disruption,Void Winnower and Archetype of Endurance specifically. These cards stop your opponents from reacting to your combo win and getting either from a mass reanimate effect forms a very powerful board state that usually leads to you winning next turn.

Most of the combos in this deck are pretty simple,play/reanimate big creature,sac to Jarad, and win.One to specifically point out however is Phyrexian Devourer,by continually activating his 0 ability while the sac effect is on the stack he can be made infinitely large(well not quite don't try pulling this off when your down to the last ten cards in your deck!) and then sacrificed to Jarad meaning if resolved you almost always win the game.

While this deck has gone through quite a bit of play testing if you think you know of a card that would work great with it I'd appreciate any advice.

Also all the cards in the maybe board I intend to add at some point making the following replacements:

Life from the Loam for Cultivate

Eternal Witness for Treasured Find

Greater Good for Momentous Fall

Rune-Scarred Demon for Increasing Ambition/Diabolic Revelation
